Holiday Tags

I am a believer that how you present a gift is half the battle. The final touch is always the tags on the present. Here are some tags I've been busy making for my upcoming vendor fair at the Chapel in Lake Zurich on the 15th of December from 10-2 (330 S. Old Rand Road). Come visit my table!

These tags are just one of the many items I will be selling at the shopping benefit. Part of the proceeds from the event goes to support widows and orphans in Kenya. There are tons of vendors (Lia Sophia, Vault Denim, Mary Kay, Pampered Chef, CQC Boutique, and many, many more) to visit including me!






 I had to show a close up of the detail on this tag....very pretty! I used my snowflake embossing folder, and added glitter details along with a rhinestone. Nothing like a little bling!

There will be other tags too! So come visit my blog for more samples of the tags I will be selling. The bags of tags (10 tags for $4.00) will be available that day as well as cocoa mixes, clothespin wreaths, snowman wine glasses (see my earlier posts for pictures of these items).

Remember to stamp a little love--especially for those you hold dear this holiday season!

Candle Jars

I always like have small gifts around for people that might stop by unexpected with a gift! This is a perfect idea as a little something to have laying around. I got a similar gift from my friend Kori, who is super creative. Here is my try at it.
I took stazon ink and dabbed circles with sponge daubers from Stampin' Up, added some pear pizzazz ribbon and jingle bells as well as the word JOY with vinyl to the candle jar. It's the perfect gift for that unexpected guest or to keep for yourself and burn on a cozy night at home. Remember to stamp a little love!

Holiday Wreath

I have really been able to focus my energy on creating the last few days--a welcomed change! My latest creation is a rosette wreath perfect for hanging during the holidays.
I picked up a wreath at the Dollar Store and added some felt rosettes. I picked colors for the Holiday Season but you could easily adapt this to fit your homes color theme. This will be another item that is available for purchase at the upcoming Holiday Shopping Fair at The Chapel in Lake Zurich, Illinois on December 15th from 10-2.

Felt Scarves

I've got a new die cutting addiction....circles and lots of them. Thank goodness for my Stampin' Up Big Shot that can cut all the circles for me. I created these lovely scarves with my circle dies.


You cut the felt scarf and then die cut circles to create all the flowers. You can use felt or really any fabric you'd like to make the flowers--the big shot can handle just about any material! I'll be selling these beauties at a vendor fair on the 15th of December at the Chapel in Lake Zurich from 10-2. A portion of the proceeds is going to a charity. Come visit me! Remember to stamp a little love!
